Hangeland Ruled Out For Six More Weeks

[Folami David]

Fulham's bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League suffered a major blow on Friday when Brede Hangeland was ruled out for another six weeks.
.
Hangeland had already been sidelined for a month with sciatic nerve damage in his right leg, but the Norway defender has now been told he needs surgery to cure the problem.
.
Fulham had hoped to bring the 32-year-old back to full fitness without an operation.
.
But Cottagers manager Rene Meulensteen revealed on Friday that Hangeland has decided to have the surgery and will need six more weeks to recover.
.
Meulensteen, whose team are third bottom of the table and three points from safety, conceded Hangeland's absence will be a big loss during the busy Christmas period.
.
"Brede is a bit of a disappointment to be honest because we have looked at all medical strategies and it's a bit of an awkward one," Meulensteen said.
.
"He's seen another surgeon and a specialist and I think they have decided that they're going for the surgery, which will keep him out for at least six weeks.
.
"But on a positive note we know now and there's clarity. He can focus on the rehabilitation so when he comes back he will be like a new player for us.
